The city account rolls record all of the city's income and expenditures.
Income comes primarily from annual rents and rates, as well as special
levies. Expenditures include the whole range of civic responsibilities,
including construction and maintenance of civic structures, annual
payments to civic officials, and rewards given to local nobility and
gentry (and to their performers). The account rolls up to
1420 incorporate the accounts of several officials (including the mayor, bagmen, aldermen, and clerk of
the market), as the chamberlains had not yet been recognized as
responsible for all civic finances. The accounting period runs from
Michaelmas to Michaelmas.
